I wonder if there will be reoccurrence for patients who get SARS?

Maybe. People certainly can get the flu more than once in their lifetime. What gets me is that so many people are looking for a "cure" for this...hell, we can't even cure a cold! This virus is closely related to other common upper respiratory diseases like flu and colds. Like those, it's very treatable with supportive care. That's why the overwhelming number of patients recover with no problems. People are nervous, understandably, because it's new. But influenza still kills thousands of people worldwide even today. Here in the states we had "flu outbreaks" this past winter. Schools in Kentucky and Tennessee closed because so many students were ill. It wasn't such a big deal because we're so used to it.
